Mach 9, 7000mph! First hypersonic cruise missile and first scramjet aircraft of any type to enter military service. It can maneuver constantly and fly any trajectory including just above ground. It is impossible to intercept. It is nuclear and conventional capable. Ground launched version will not enter service until future. This is a true carrier killer and China may be receiving them in addition to S-500 Prometey they are already scheduled to receive if USA keeps pushing them.
Not just buzzword. These work and are now in production just like Khinzal hypersonic missile and Avengard hypersonic glide vehicle which will sit atop RS-28 Sarmat among other missiles.
Asher Garcia
Production rate: 10 per year
Brandon Morales
That’s only 1 fewer than USA aircraft carriers and they’ll make far more than 19 per year. The one thing they take seriously are their nuclear weapons and delivery systems.
William Cox
so when are they gonna take ukraine? 2 more hypersoonics?
Jaxon Perez
That they'll never use because post 1950 it would mean the near complete destruction of mankind

Ukraine got any ships left worth targeting? They could just use regular missiles but I suppose if they film one destroying it that would be great for marketing.
Benjamin Hall
Totally fake and gay. Zircon has to be launched from an aircraft, doesn't actually go hypersonic and does not have a scramjet.
Jaxson Lopez
Speed is irrelevant in missile intercept technology. You can't outrun radar/IR/laser detection. Intercepting faster projectiles is just a matter of software.
Luis Adams
There is zero evidence Russia has a working scramjet other than "lol trust us bro"
Adam Price
No, Khinzal is launched from Mig 31z. Zircon is launched from ship and soon ground ground in upcoming version.
Brody Allen
Will be as effective as iskanders shown to be in ukraine. Failure.
Colton Young
The missile tests. You don’t think they were working on this for long time while the USA was too busy wasting money playing grab as with towelheads? Now Russia and China both have several hypersonic missiles and USA has none. Russia alone has 3.
Ryder Garcia
>Missile >Aircraft Pick one
Nathaniel Watson
>Russia alone has 3. all of them hszt fucking air launched old balistic missiles. They can't do scramjet
Decommissioned, many in stock, takes money for maintenance, but proven and reliable.
Christopher Martin
Russia has 1 confirmed hypersonic missile and it is not scramjet powered.
Anthony Perez
>You can't outrun radar/IR/laser detection. but you have to shoot the thing down once you detect it... how are you going to shoot down something moving at mach 9? Your shitty CIWS that can't even hit a subsonic cruise missile half the time?
Russoids think this is normal in the 21st century. Back then a sword fell upon an enemy directly. Now one of those rocket boys lands into a Ukrainian commie block killing indsicriminantly. They also bless the SATAN-II missile and im sure they bless their cluster bombs as well. Real good job to Kiril - Patriarch of the KGB...
Joseph Davis
>CIWS can't hit 50% of the time Yeah, America has lost dozens of aircraft carriers to this.
Daniel Bell
No. There has been no scramjet plane or missile or any other flying device in service with any military before this. That’s what I am saying. There was rumors about a hypersonic bomber or recon plane USA was testing in early 90’s though.
Nathan Taylor
nothin means nothin, until they sink the first carrier with it. until then, its just marketing buzz and propaganda. sink a carrier if you want to see real posture changes
It's funny how vatnigs always try to poke fun of Javelins, NLAW's HIMARS, HARMS etc. as wunderwäffen despite these being actually used to great effect, meanwhile they are banging on about hypersonic missiles like it is the next Messiah.
Oliver King
The Americans actually have mountains of public evidence of scramjet test drones. There isn't a single bit of information about any Russian scramjet other than print coming from state media.
